Say Cheese for our New Online Directory!

It’s time for a new online directory and we have 2 simple options to make it easy for everyone!

Choose a Sunday (April 14^th, 21^st, or 28^th) and simply stop by the table in the hallway between 10:15 – 11:30am to complete a short information form and smile for the camera. (We will have volunteers taking casual pictures, not a professional company.)

You will also have an online option to submit a casual individual or family photo of your own and complete a digital form. Our hope is to have a brand new online directory by this summer!

Thank You!



Many thanks to everyone who prepared and delivered food for the 3 families enrolled in Family Promise in March. What a blessing it was to provide a delicious, hot meal for the families during this time of transition for them. Thank you for brightening their evenings and sharing God’s love in this personal way.

Thanks also to Dianne MacGuire for her leadership. The next time we provide meals is Nov. 17-24^th.
